===========================================================


Overview
===========
The 6th International Symposium on Wireless sensor network Technologies and Applications for Smart Space (WTA 2010) will be held in Gwangju, Korea, December 9-11, 2010.

Smart Spaces (SS) represents an advanced communication environment featuring daily-life objects that continuously involve and are focused on final non-expert users. SS has rapidly emerged as an exciting new paradigm that tends to include different active research fields such as ubiquitous, grid, and P2P computing. SS environments have recently raised tremendous interests in both the academic and the industrial research communities as one of the most promising application fields for pervasive computing services.
The WTA 2010 aims to address system and network issues for SS communications. It will solicit both original research papers and review articles that enhance the state-of-the-art in these fields, including topics like effective context extraction and representation, context-based service discovery, context-based service composition, integration of legacy systems and services, security theory, business models, and novel applications that are associated with SS utilization. The papers will be peer reviewed by at least three independent reviewers and will be selected on the basis of their quality and relevance to the theme of this conference.

FutureTech 2010 is the next event in a series of highly successful
symposium on wireless sensor network technologies and applications for SS (WTA), previously held as SH-10 (Busan, Korea, May 2010), SH-09 (Toronto, Canada, July 2009), SH-08 (Hainan, China, Dec. 2008), SH-07 (Jeju, Korea, Dec. 2007), IWSH-06 (Jeju, Korea, Nov. 2006).
